We had a 50 degree day yesterday so I made sure to get one in. Just a short 20 mile around town but it counts...

You really need to specify the east to west and north to south boundries or you will get a lot of disappointing responses....:roflblack: glad you are still ryding over there...:yes:

Been almost 3 months since my last ride (Oct 12/17) and am anticipating another 3 months before I get my first one of the year. It warmed up to 0 deg c yesterday, but the 10" of snow isn't going away anytime soon......:banghead:

-21 (Yes, minus) (F) in central Mass this morning. Even colder I hear in VT and NH. Even Mr. Gerbing's gear won't help right now!

We rode to sunny California where it rained 4 out of the 5 days we were there. Our good gear kept us dry and I used my heated jacket to keep me toasty. Didn’t have to try out the heat on my new Russell Day-Long saddle though. 1,555 miles round trip. Next up is Tombstone which will be 1,100 miles round trip.

Loving winter, how about you??

Very true, should have specified for us “weather less fortunate” in the great white north...

Unfortunately not yet, only because it's in the shop (valve cover gaskets &intake boot cracks):sour: Ben mostly short stuff back on my two wheeler 100m or mostly round town errands just not the same, but better than nothing. Keeps me in practice manual clutch & all functions Had to learn for riding in first place. :coffee::ohyea:

No rides yet this year. Still doing the countdown to March 1st. Anytime after that its riding time once the black ice melts off my country road.

I took my first ride of the new year this afternoon. It was a balmy 40 degrees. I rode 59 miles in about an hour and 20 minutes around the area. Even though I live in the south it has been brutally cold for this time of year. We should be in the 50's later in the week before the next arctic blast.

We took a 250 mile ryde on Saturday through the foothills and into and out of the Napa Valley! Some absolutely awesome roads and the weather was perfect. Ranged from 50 at the start to 62 by the end of the day. It was just after a nice rain on Friday an drew the air was crisp, clear and fresh! Sorry about all of the COLD the rest of the country is dealing with, but had to get out and enjoy!

Haven't been out yet this month but I did get in 100 miles on Dec 30. Too cold right now and I had a friend in Manti (20 miles away) offer to store Charlotte in side. If we get a really nice day,I'll go dig her out.

Pete, there is really only one way to get there. We will go on the freeway over the Dam then continue on down the road to Wickenburg. 303 to I10 from there.

Today is our first day in 2018 to get above 32 degrees. Supposed to be pretty decent this week (up to the 60's), but there is also talk of rain. I did back the M109 and spyder out on Saturday and let them run for about 10-15 minutes.

My wife said it didn't count unless it had a destination, so took it to church this morning. 27 degrees, but at least the sun was out.

I see you folks have snow--but at least the roads are clear. :yes::yes:

Mother Nature gave us about a foot of snow this last week. Three more inches coming today. The countdown remains--about a month until the ice melts off the roads (give or take a couple weeks).

Somewhat clear anyway. A few wet spots, so now I’m going to have to wash it. Actually saw another bike when I took it to the gas station.

Count your blessings Trent, I'm a mere 10 degrees further north, 8 hours east of RCSD and we've got snow covered (but plowed) roads, 2 - 3 ft snow berms around the driveway, an no safe Spyder riding for at least a month or so.... Shoot, this mornings 4 inches of snow now make my snow blower have to reach to clear the snow berms...

NO,

We have about 3 feet of snow!
I have another 3 weeks to go before I can ride.

Actually the winter has been so mild here this year that I had to get the Spyder back out of storage,just too many good days. I have been back to moto commuting since the middle of Feb. Miss a day or two now and again for cold or snow but mostly ok.

We are in the same mode here. I was thinking that's what I get for talking about the mild winter.

As much as it does cut into riding we do need the snow for our summer irrigation water.

Spyder has been out of commission due to a sensor problem that is challenging the dealers knowledge for a month now. I went back to riding my Goldwing. A new re-learning riding experience. Leaning and counter steering came back quickly. Will probably have to re-learn how to ride the spyder all over.....
